Pastor: Drugs haunted Sheley

Both cocaine and meth use can lead to violent behavior, lying, stealing, adopting a superior attitude or grandiosity, a loss of ambition, a shorter temper, increased impulsive behavior, paranoia, anxiety and denial of responsibility, Burrow said. "Nick, he doesn't handle stress, and when there's a lot of pressure on him, he tends to look for drugs and alcohol," Holly Sheley said. "So then he continues on the path that's he's on because he doesn't know how to quit." Holly Sheley recalled the events of Monday, June 23, the last day she saw her husband. Nicholas Sheley bought a beer in Rockford, and then after returning to the place where the couple had been staying recently in Mount Morris, he bought more beer, and then a bottle of Hennessy cognac. "I was hesitant at first, and I said, 'Nick, you know what happens,'" Holly Sheley explained, referring to her husband's tendency to abuse drugs after drinking.
